How to make home made play dough

This may look like a brain but in actual fact it is HOME MADE PLAY DOUGH! (Note to self.... use more pink food colouring next time).

Following my mama's recipe, Daisy and I made some of this brilliant, non-toxic (edible even, if you like that sort of thing... bleeuuurrrggghhh) stuff and the whole procedure of mixing, cooking and playing actually kept madam occupied for most of the day. It may have been sunny today but this would make a perfect rainy day activity. The ingredients are mostly all store cupboard basics too which is handy (except, perhaps, for cream of tartar - put it on your shopping list now and get some next time you're in the supermarket!). This recipe makes a relatively large amount of play dough!
